I would LOVE to meet Steve and Terri Irwin or Jeff Corwin, for that matter. One day, I plan on making my way over to Australia to visit the Irwin's zoo. The most I have seen of reptiles on their own turfs were Green Iguanas in Guatemala, and Caimans in Costa Rica.

All I've really got are these Lebanese eyes A young salesman at a jewelry store in Chicago was Syrian, and he had me pegged for Lebanese descent right off the bat. I asked him (knowing full well what he would say) how he knew that, and he said "your eyes" ![]() |

Back in Pakistan, my cousin's Labradors gave birth to this litter. The labradors were trained and befriended to this big giant cat, we kept, so they knew they could not touch the cat no matter what. But the cat wasn't as nice. She'd go bully the little ones. My cousin eventually just kept one of them. Now the bullying culture was so accepted by that one pup, that even when he grew up to become a big labrador himself, he was afraid of the cat... Lemme see if I can convert this video I have of that dog (Blacky), being chased by the cat round and round the lawn. She was mean she used to make him give up his food. Cats are the most unfaithful animals. They don't love you, they make you love them.

Those are not cats you are describing - those are men! Okay, I seriously dislike this type of email, but this one seems to fit here: What is a Cat? Cats do what they want. They rarely listen to you. They're totally unpredictable. When you want to play, they want to be alone. When you want to be alone, they want to play. They expect you to cater to their every whim. They're moody. They leave hair everywhere. Conclusion: They're tiny women in little fur coats. What is a Dog? Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the next room. They can look dumb and lovable at the same time. They growl when they are not happy. When you want to play, they want to play. When you want to be alone, they want to play. They leave their toys everywhere. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss. They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you. Conclusion: They're tiny men in little fur coats. |

He definitely knows he's a part of our family. He knows I'm top dog, he only gets fed by me, and if he catches a bird and doesn't eat it he always brings it to me. I give him a pat and throw the bird away when he's not looking, not because I want him to kill birds but because he thinks he's contributing to the 'pride'. If he's hurt he comes to me. If I see him fighting I help him out, cats who live together help each other out in a fight against an outsider, and I've reinforced this with him. When he wants a pat he goes to my wife and I think he regards my daughter as about equal in the pecking order. He got a really big pat when he went the dog. |

ok most of the stuff you've described is very cat like, but then again, brings a bird!? Man my cat once killed a tiny baby chick... well that was kinda out of jealousy. But no matter what, I'd do she wouldn't ease her grip.
Oh yeah the fighting together thing is great, but only when I'm helping HER out. It's like when I'm around she'd be lioness! And they're very good communicators too. Like if I'm just standing there and not helping her out, she'd look at me and give me an angry meeeeooooow like hey buddy, what you waiting for!? Quote:
Now dogs, they're the most fun and super trainable! My only dog, the German Shepherd (also called Blacky), used to pin me or my brother down, when used to fight or something... Since I was the bigger kid (though I'm the younger one), she'd come in the way and pull me back. While playing cricket, she'd be an excellent extra fielder, and man was I the coolest kid in town or what! Poor thing had cancer! and that was the worst way to go. Never got around getting another dog. My cousin's got this, Jack Russel, its exactly like Milo from the mask. Really cool dog, he behaves exactly like Milo from the mask. VERY hyper. |
